That supposed release date has passed with no announcement. Way to continue posting/passing along rumored, unsubstantiated and incorrect information. I will still with company press releases for legitimate product, thanks!

Dear Vince,

You never noticed me, but I remember you.

You had sex with your (our) boss to get promoted. It worked for a while and you were so pround of it (I am not gay but if it helps…).

Now that you have been fucked (sorry hony), you need to get all that seemen go out…

oh dear…

how interesting.

Your “reliable” source seems to be unique.
That is, only ONE person is the world is aware of this screw up. And now, every webjunkie around the net is forwarding the story. Come on guys, you need to connect your fingers to your brain…

S… happens all the time. Look here :

The culprit here is Inventec, but HTC got problems too.

Still, maybe Palm should have stick with HTC.
I remenber dismounting a Treo 650 a while back to replace a broken screen :
External and internal build quality was top notch.

So it’s a lie? Amazon seems pretty ticked about this false info.

Could this be true?

Unbelieveable!!

How can something be delayed when there has never been a release date announced, Hey Vince, where did you get you journalism degree? Online maybe?

I can tell you without question, that this is pure, unadulterated, Bulls%#t!!
Whay is it that any yahoo with a tech domain can print a single paragraph like this with no backup, no sources, no quotes from Amazon (who is moving to have this post removed). Why are there o sources in a story like this? because it is inflmmatory B.S..

This is clearly someone who wants sone attention, or has a grudge against Palm for some reason. The 680 has never had an announced release date, and Amazon was a pre-sale. There are units of the 680 in shipping channels as we speak.

Agian, this story is so much B.S.!!!!

I think Someone made this up to get us all worked up about it.

So… are you sure it wasn’t HTC? Which manufacturer, then?

which carrier were these for? palm says generic version available exclusively from palm so what went to amazon? sprint, cingular?

No, our source on this has never been wrong about Palm stuff. And this kind of thing happens all the time, this one was just extra bad luck. The problem appears to be fixed, but they are a little behind schedule because of it.

I also think that this falls under the mega-BS category…

So far for internal and outgoing quality control … one would think this is a BASIC test that would be done, at several possible places …

Got a friend at Palm; he says this is BS – they’re shipping NOW (phew – promised me to get me a discount on one :)
